Be Ii known linie ll, Timmer "W. Bienne, o, citizen of the Unified Sintes, residing in lroollyn` in -ilie` eonniy of Hinge and Serie oi' York, have invented certain new vand useful improvements in Controliing Means] of which-ille oilowing is a speeiu zillion.

This invent-ion relaies io controlling inea-ns in general, and more particularly to' ineens im' rentre-lling elnirlies and the like.

One of tbe mein objects of the. present invenion te provide n. iexiole connection between n eonirollingg ker and the eentrollnible :nenne oi' :i nmol. `e. To this end. nrrnngeinent is provided having n flexible Xible connection reciprocate-bly ein, oonerel key et one end iilie ensing for actuating Snidlexible eonneetion,y end a con'rollnble means operatively conne d to the other end of seid flexible connection,

These nndfener fenuree, o ipebiliies and nnluges of lie i -veniion will .appear the snbjoined detail description oi one einbodiinen; thereof .illustrated in, nenying drawings, in Winerw l is :iv regmenml elevational view, section, showing n drivingw meebee elnieli eonneened to one end of =ble eonneeion eonsfsiiiing lle pres for actuating die aforesaid enibie eonneen isnn end viewz; relative io Fig. l, I ie driving' mechanism, y,elnieli and onneeion.

s o view similar to Fig. Lin which, lio 1, lie flexible connection has been :1c-

ied to reiense the cluiieli.

Bj," Ineens oi', the spring 19, which is disposed between tlieenlnrgemen; of 'the pin 16 und the shoulder 2in1 the erin 15, the pin le is constant-ly under tension and adapted to have lits enlargement 2() extend intovthe path .of movement of the nrmsli by euch spring 19. The end oftlie pinl removed from the Wheel l2 and exenfling adjacent to the bearing Bis prol vided Wiili a bend 22 to cooperate with the cnrn lever 23 which is pivotnlly mounted on the braekel; 24 disposed adjacent to the bezir-y ing B and of en eremita shape with ny ouin ieee 25. The inner portion 26 of the-anni ieee extends over .lmd beyond tbe bracket 24; and, into the petit of, movement of vthe pin lo, and islexibly nmintsiined in suoli posi,-` ion by tbe Het spring' 2 secured 'to the bracket 24 and extending over and engaging tire outer Couven edgeof the' lever 23. The face 25,A from the portion 26, grnduellvextends away from the lever lei und terminiie et its upper end in u ln'te ally extending nger 28 extending toward und engzwing the upper surface of the upper arm 29er the bell ernnlr 3() pivolbally connected to tlie'extension 3l extending i'ipiverdly from tbe bearing B, tbe lower arm 32 of which bell crank 30 er:- tends into the path of movement of che pin 33 Slidably mounted in the member 34 extend ing laterally from such extension 31. bore Aof the member 34 is diminished et its enter end to'prevent the displacement of llie pin B- ln suoli diminished fend is secured one end ofthe easing for tlie flexible eonneetion or cable 36, which is securedte the pin 32%, the other end of which cable ie sernred lo the support 37 for the control key H. The crible 36 extends; from the pin 33 :1lniost to ilie outer end of the easing 35 mijn,- c'enl, to tbe key support 3T and eoperaie :it snob key rontrol end of the cable 36 with 'the rigid wire 39 secured-to the lower end ol" tbe stein 4L() on which be key 3H is mounted. The siein el() is guided in the parallel plates 4i. and Suppored b v the housing' e3 extending' upward from the support 3T and ie norninlly positioned with its key C354 in elem tion.I so held by tbe spring ll disposed between tbe plete l and the key 38.

The opemiion of the foregoing is snbsnni'inlly :is follows: lllbenever it is desired io Connect i'be shaft F'i .vitlilbe driving` sprocket wlieel l0, it is onljy7 necessary to flepress the key 38 whereupon the arm will GNOR TO POYVERS ACCOUNTNG- be actuated to raise the arm 28 out of the Way of the head 22 to permit the enlargement.20 of the pin 16 to extend into dthe path of movement of the arms 13 and thus permit the leverl 14 and shaft S to be rotated with the Wheel 12. `This rotation,

however, will only continue one revolution,`

since when the pin 16 reachesthe portion 26 of the lever 23, the head 22 will be engaged by the lever 23 and coperate with the lever 23 to gradually draw the pin 16 out of enga rement with the Wheel 12. I

s soon as the key ,38 is released, the spring 27 will be of suiiicient strength to depress the lever 23 and thereby to return the bell crank 30 and the cable 36.

It is obvious that various changes and modifications may be made to the detailspof construction Without departing from the general spirit of the invention.

I claim 1. In a device of the character described, the combinationof a support; a bearing on said support; a shaft rotatable in said. bearing; a driving means Aloosely mounted on said shaft and provided -with projections; a lever lixed on said shaft; aelocking member movably carried on said lever and yieldably pressed into the path of said projections; a cam fulcrumed on said support and .out ofbell crank actuating position.

2. In a device of the character described, the combination ofV a stationary support; a bearing on said support; a shaft rotatable in said bearing; a driving means loosely mounted on said shaft' and provided With projections; a lever fired on said shaft; a

locking member-movably carried on said i lever and yieldably pressed into the path of said projections and provided .with a shoulder; a cam fulcrumed on said support and yieldably moved into the path of said shoulder and adapted on the rotation of said lever control key'in inactive position and for withdrawing said control key and the thereto connected iiexible connection out oi5 hell crank actuating position'.

3. In a device of the character described, the combination of a stationary support; a bearing carried on said support; a shaft rotatable in said bearing; a driving member and a cross-shaped member fixed to each other and loosely mounted on said shaft; a leverriixed on said shaft and provided with a chamber; la pin 'slidable in said chamber and spring pressed into engagement with the arms` of said cross-shaped Wheel and provided with a head at the end most remotewfrom said cross-shaped member; a

bracket carried on said support; a cam leverY pivoted to said bracket and spring pressed into the path of said head and adapted to engage under said head and` withdraw the pin from engagement With said arms as said lever revolves; a bell crank freely movable and adapted to engage said cam and `move it out of the path of the pin head; a control key; a flexible connection connected to said GUsTAv DnEws, H. ll).
